WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-R. NJ. Volk-
mar-or, as he is better known in Da-
kOta, A. Ii. Lewis-the editor of the
Milbank Review, was interviewed by
your correspondent as he was passing
through Washington ell route to Phila-
delphia to answer to the charges pre-
ferred against him. He was at the Ma
tiOnal hotel news stand, asking for the
Dakota edition of the GLOBE. He said:
1.-The remarkable thing out there just
now is the candidacy of Moody for
delegate. He has always been supposed
to be Clifford man, and one who would
forever stand by the judge. But the
Republican papers are commencing to
boom him and it is probably by his con-
sent IT not by his personal seeking"
rs he likely to get there?"
''He is known as one of the ShrewdeSt
politicians in the territory and is dam
gerous competitor for Gifford's place.
One thing is greatly against him, and
that is he is poor. Moody had money at
one time, and / believe that he is now
living entirely on the Homestake mine.
That is good property, probably, but it
is not bonanza"
''Why does this boom start so early?"
Moody alone can answer that queS-
ton. 1t is presumed that he wants the
idea to get all over the territory in time.
You see
DAKOTA Is SUCH AN IMMENSE COUNTRY
that it takes a long time to get such an
idea out into the remote sections and
hammer it in until the people believe
it. Booms are common. and the average
Dakotan has to look at one for a long
time before he satisfies himself that it
is pure article. Political boOms are
like townsite booms. There is a vast
deal of wind in them sometimes"
us there any other candidate bobbing
up?''
Mai. Edwards will nominate Gen.
Allen. He probably will be able to
carry lot of fellows with him who will
assist him in the matter. He is thor
oughly committed to Allen, and will
work hard for him. The major is
good boomer of men. He never takes
up any man unless he sees his way
pretty clear to make the rifle for him.
The fact that he booms Allen goes a
long way in the generals favor
''Well, there is Hills candidate and
a North Dakota candidate. Now who
comes from the South?'
''GrigSby is the name they are Jug
Cling with down there. He is sup
posed supporter of Clifford, but Grigsby
has an abiding faith in Grigsby and his
STAR
s.Who will the Democrats nominated"
''There is no candidate SO largely
talked of at present as Abe Boynton.
OF course Mccormack. Day, Maratta or
Ward might be candidates. and either
of them might be nominated. The
Democrats do not commence their booms
SO soon. Boynton is talked of, quietly.
at present, and he would make a good
candidate. Day doesn't like Abe, but
he would support him, or any other man
the convention might nominate. for he
is always, and above all things, true to
his party. lie would oppose Boynton
in convention, fight him bitterly: but if
he should be nominated Day would
work like beaver for him.
